You know, I've heard similar reports... but they're also OEM tires on many cars. I've heard they're not the greatest street tire but figured they'd make for a tolerable summer tire and double as helping squeeze a few more tenths (or seconds...) out in autocross. I do need to be able to...

Right... what's wrong with Cup2s? They're not available in 275? Would 265 vs 275 REALLY make that much of a difference?

Yeah- beggars literally can't be choosers lol. It's not entirely fair to say "there aren't any options", when you have the qualifier "below $400". 200 TW tires are expensive, except for the Kumhos- but they're out there. Cup2s are the only ones that come in factory sizes but thems the breaks...

That is 100% the reason. You may find it annoying at first but it literally takes 10 seconds and becomes muscle memory by your 3rd run. You can't drive this thing in anger without the nannies turned off.

Now I'm curious what you did to your last car... I've had some pretty good luck with not overdoing it with my past cars. I had a 2015 STI with a Cobb turbo-back and intake and that was pretty much perfection in my book when it comes to aftermarket exhaust. Just the right amount of volume...

If only everyone fully realized these words.

Oil nerds are the best, and worst, at the same time. I admire their... patience, though. For me, I started to realize I didn't need to change the oil every 3k when synthetic oil became a thing, circa ~2001 or so. Similar studies- that a solid synthetic will essentially provide the same or...

Yeah so take it with a grain of salt- but some have claimed that Honda uses special oil additives from the factory to help with break in. I think there was another theory out there too but can't recall exactly what it was... in any case I don't think any of these conspiracy theories have been...

There's a clear and distinct difference from enthusiasts who enjoy a good exhaust note and idiots who rev their fart cans in parking lots. edit- also boomers with open header muscle cars, also toothless hillbilly coal-rollers with 5" diesel exhausts. Another study should be performed to...

Ah so you got them, nice! I was so close to pulling the trigger, glad he found a buyer. I'm very curious to hear how the fitment works out! I know he said they didn't rub lowered 1", but I feel like you HAVE to lower the car to get the negative camber to run those wheels, and I didn't feel like...

Anyone know if bronze Acura center caps exist in the Apex size? Is it just the ITS that had the copper/bronze wheels OEM?? (The TLX PMC edition had goldish-bronze wheels but black centercaps......)

For the Porsches, you're gonna want a 2009 and above to avoid the IMS bearing issues entirely. Again, not a dealbreaker in the sense of "absolutely do not consider buying one"... but personally I'd rather just make it a non-factor and get an 09 or newer. That 2012 with the horrendous wrap is...

Lol, I was saying it tongue in cheek. That's good to hear that as auto enthusiasts we can appreciate other cars... but I had a guy run up on my ass the other day and sure enough it was an RS5.

That's a great question; right this moment I'm not sure. I think I'm going to swap out the PS4S from my OEM wheels to just use them, because I have them and don't feel like trying to sell them. They will probably hold up for most of this season as I feel like I only just broke them in with a...

If the engine goes you could always do this: These are all good options, and depending on budget and certain subjective tastes, all could easily fit the bill for an awesome "toy" car. I haven't experienced the ones you listed directly but I'll share my thoughts as an enthusiast because I'm...

I finally bought some wheels. Apex VS-5RS Satin Bronze 19x9.5 +45. I'm honestly not sure when they'll get here; I kind of rushed to buy them because they said inventory is low but ETA for new wheels is late April, which is like- now but I ordered anyway. Then I read on Facebook that people are...

Yeah... it's easy for me to say it from my position of being broke, but the F car lifestyle isn't for me. I'd veer more towards Lambo or McLaren at that price point. Or a silly Porsche, like a GT2RS or something.

It's less obvious, or I've gotten more used to it, or both. It doesn't bother me nearly as much. But it is definitely still there.

Before you commit completely to changing the oil right now- how many miles does your car have on it? You just got this thing less than a month ago, right? First of all, I'm not trying to coerce you one way or the other, but as far as forum topics go, this is a pretty popular one and I feel it's...

No I don't like the cab either. That's why I've owned 3 Boxsters. The roadster dimensions make the car look fantastic with the top down; the cab looks like an overturned bathtub. I don't like it at all... And yeah for me I needed practicality too, and the ITS is a godsend in that category...
